    I planted cauliflower for the first time this year. Watered, removed weeds, fed. It even seemed to have begun to grow well, but in the end, out of six plants, not one formed a head of cabbage! Two faded away, and the rest faded into color. What's happened? After all, I tried so hard! I am persistent and plan to plant cauliflower again next year. But I want to understand what I didn’t take into account, what does cabbage need in order for it to set heads?

    When the outside temperature drops below +10 degrees, I dig up cauliflower with small heads (up to 10 cm in diameter). I put small clods of earth in plastic fruit boxes, transfer them to the greenhouse, sprinkle the roots with another small layer of soil and additionally cover them with spunbond. In the second half of October, I cut off all the finally formed heads. I transfer the rest of the plants directly in the box to the cellar. I water it with lukewarm water to keep the soil moist, and leave it to ripen in the dark.

    О There are some black dots on the cauliflower, the leaves are yellowish along the edges. What is this disease? Is it possible to eat such a crop?

      - This cabbage is definitely not worth eating. Most likely, we are talking about point necrosis. This disease is physiological, it is not transmitted from one plant to another, but nevertheless causes considerable harm.
      The reason for this phenomenon is the large amount of nitrogen in the soil. Apparently, before planting cauliflower on the site, you made a lot of nitrogen fertilizers, both mineral and organic. Remember that cauliflower does not like excess nitrogen fertilizers, so be careful with them in the future.

    I really love cabbage, and all that grows in our area. But I prefer color.

    In my opinion, it is tastier and more tender. Cauliflower fully justifies its name, because today varieties are bred with green, yellow, purple inflorescences. We managed to grow purple cabbage varieties Amethyst. But in the course of cultivation, we realized that cauliflower is very demanding on soil fertility, watering, fertilizers and loves loose soil. It grows well where the sun appears at least XNUMX hours a day. However, it does not tolerate heat. The heads develop better in late summer - early autumn, so we are not in a hurry with planting seedlings, we do it in June.
    The technology for growing purple cabbage is similar to the usual one. At the beginning of growth, it is necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizers, then phosphorus, but special preference should be given to potash.
    Therefore, after planting seedlings in the ground, we water it with mullein infusion, and when the leaves are sufficiently formed, we fertilize with ash infusion.
    We harvest cabbage in early autumn.

    To get an early harvest of cauliflower, choose the seeds of the Intimate variety.
    It is resistant to weather changes, very tasty. We also love broccoli, we planted Resonance - it made my family very happy last year with a good harvest and large curly heads of cabbage.

    How to grow a cauliflower

    If the cold has suddenly come, and the cauliflower is not yet ready for harvesting, I save the crop like this.

    I'm digging a shallow pit in the greenhouse. In it I make transverse furrows with a depth and width of about 20 cm, fill it with heated water to the top and wait until it is absorbed. Cauliflower plants dug up with roots are placed in trenches close to each other, falling asleep to the lower leaves with earth. I put the arcs and cover with a film folded in several layers. I throw straw on the sides of the cabbage. If some of the heads have not yet ripened before frost, then I put the remaining plants in boxes with soil and lower them into the cellar.
